Extreme sports racing is comin⛦g to Wii this autumn, with Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, an SSX-style skateboard race game designed especia🦹lly for Nintendo's next-gen hardware, and we've seen it in action %26ndash; just click the image tab above and take a look at some fresh new screens to get an idea for yourself.

Dꦗownhill Jam will make use of the Wii controller's motion sensitive features. You'll have to tilt the controller left or right to turn, and use ♉a shaking action to trigger a speed boost to push you ahead of the pack.

It can really shift too, making supple wrists a real must if you're going to ace the themed levels - we've seen one track in San Francisco and another set♓ on the mountainous terrain leading down into a Mediterranean tꦉown already.

We'll be going hands-on with the game later this week, and we'll give you an🌟 immediate update on how the racing feels the minute we drag ourselves away and p🎀ut our thinking into wordage.
